Japan... A Chapter of Image (Inscribed).
Tokyo: Hitachi, 1963. First Edition. Quarto. This copy SIGNED by Smith to title page, along with lengthy apologia, in which he makes reference to his pseudonym: "There are 21 mistakes that are uncorrected in this book. But I believe it worth the price for the writing of Walter Trego." A company book commissioned by Hitachi, with Smith's lush black-and-white gravure images reflecting the company's operations in Japan. Papered boards, with gilt lettering to front panel and spine. Minor chipping at edges, as typical; a near fine copy of Smith's rarest book.
